    Definitely some backdoors right in there.

        Open source code isn’t immune to exploits. It’s impossible to exhaustively test every interaction in massive code bases for unintended behavior.

        The upside of open source is that a well intentioned person might find a vulnerability and get it fixed. Up until then it might be someone’s 0 day.
